Break it to them slowly. Make a convosation and then say do you no much about breast cancer. And then carry on til you say it.

well my mom has cancer. it was also really hard for her to tell me. but she just sat me down and told me flat out. its alot harder when you beat around the bush. so maybey something like "i have to tell you something thats gonna be hard for you. i have breast cancer. i know its scary, but we can get through this" that what my mom basically said to me. hope i helped.(:

I f you were breaking this news to someone, you would be a breast cancer specialist doctor. Most people prefer to be told straight out. They will have had all the appropriate tests, so will know there's a fair chance they have cancer, it won't be out of the blue. My consultant simply said 'You do have cancer'. I was immensely grateful for his frankness and the fact that he didn't beat around the bush, shocked as I was.

There is no "sugar-coating" this news. Usually what happens is a doctor has made an appointment for you to have some testing done. In our case it was an MRI. The technician then would let us know the results. He made the phone call, I was on the other line when my wife picked up the phone. He said, "We have the results of your MRI and the tumor was positive. I am very sorry." After that we made an appointment to the doctor that had the MRI done, and he recommended an oncologist to see. We saw her and she helped us through the diagnosis. If you are in the position to "break-the news", then you are probably in the health field anyway and have done something like this hundreds of times. The best way is the direct way. It is what we appreciated, even though the news was "shocking."
